The Center for International Understanding of the University of North Carolina (System) was founded in 1979 through the efforts of North Carolina Governor James B. Hunt and First Lady Carolyn Hunt. It was known initially as the North Carolina Center for International Understanding (NCCIU). After it became affiliated with the national non-profit organization Friendship Force International (FFI), it was known as the Friendship Force of North Carolina. That affiliation ended in 1988. Though headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., the center has been administratively a part of the University of North Carolina (System) since its inception. Its mission has been to educate North Carolina's business, policy, and education leaders about the world and to foster greater global engagement on the part of the state. Its programs have included numerous international exchanges and partnerships. Since 2002, much of the center's activity has focused on building cultural competency among the state's K-12 students.

The letters were written chiefly by Callcott Chambre's wife Kathren. The other correspondents--J. Labie (?), William Newman, Thomas Ward (?), ----- Meath, and Judeth (sister of Callcott and George Chambre)--appear to have been personal friends or kinsmen.

Margaret Rogers Chandler (fl. 1780s-1860), daughter of John Rogers (1723-1789), patriot leader, member of the Continental Congress, and first chancellor of Maryland, was also descended from the Lee family of Virginia.

The collection includes letters, family histories, genealogical papers, and financial and legal documents relating mainly to members of the Chandler, Lee, and Rogers families of Virginia and Maryland during the 18th and early 19th centuries. Many of these papers were apparently compiled through genealogical research conducted by Margaret Rogers Chandler. Letters from family members often include genealogical information in reply to Margaret Chandler's inquiries. Most of the correspondence is with Chandler's son, Colonel Daniel Thomas Chandler (1820-1877), concerning family history and family business. Many of the legal and financial documents relate to Daniel Thomas Chandler and his sister, Mary Chandler. Financial information concerns bank dealings and taxes. Legal documents include wills, real estate dealings, deeds, and promises of indenture. A 1926 real estate agreement's connection to the collection is unclear.
